NOT JUST ANOTHER SPORT

The Lenexa Karate Academy is not just another after-school activity. Basketball, soccer, and baseball are all great activities for children, but theLenexa Karate Academy offers personal development through a physical discipline.

Our exciting yet disciplined classes focus a child’s attention, thus improving his or her ability to learn. Learning builds a sense of accomplishment. With each new accomplishment a student’s self-confidence grows, and confidence is the first step in the empowerment of a person’s physical and mental abilities.

Once we begin to develop a student’s self confidence, we are then able to instill the values of respect, courtesy, honesty, perseverance, and integrity that are the foundation of the martial arts.

Furthermore, your child will develop perseverance, which is a non-quitting spirit to overcome life’s obstacles. Instilling an attitude of self assurance helps a child overcome challenges — to succeed in the face of adversity, and to be a goal setter, and a goal getter.

The combined physical and character foundations that the Lenexa Karate Academy develops helps children excel in their academic school studies, sports, and social endeavors. It ensures that they will have confidence in themselves and the character to make the right decisions when faced with negative peer pressure. They will be leaders not followers.

It is our mission to help your child become more confident, disciplined, and respectful!

NO ONE SITS ON THE BENCH

Martial Arts is not a team sport, the only person that you are competing with is “Yourself.” Students come to us from age five to sixty five. Some students are in shape, while others are over weight. Some come for self defense, fitness, and others for fun. Each person is treated as an equal, and is trained to the best of their own ability and potential. A student is never compared to anyone else. At the Lenexa Karate Academy our instructors are there to guide, instruct, and motivate you to be the best that you can be.
